ill go ahead and introduce myself as im a regular on rennlist and recently more on here. My name is dan(xsboost90) since i used to be big time into turbo mk3 supras. Got my first porsche a year ago-89 944 and after doing alot of work/paint etc..traded it for a 924s and a 76 914 2.0. Now im in the process of rebuilding from the ground up this car including cutting out some rust-not too bad someone had already done alot-PO owned a body shop- but missed some in the floor and fenders. I also purchased a motor which has already been totally rebuilt w/ very little milage and a cam from someone local who needed more-200hp 2.0 rat motor!!- for their project. Ill go ahead and start a thread and try to keep its progress posted for those who find these things handy. I also have a couple of pics of what i plan on it to look like in the next couple months when i paint it..yes im a jack of all trades so to speak. Thanks, stay tuned.

Welcome to the board! I'll look forward to following your progress. (Maybe it will encourage me to move a little faster on mine!)

So, any plans to BOOST the 914?

now i have the rear suspension out and im going to weld up the rear floor section, strap the rear arms/ frame and rockers inside the car, and install some s2- yes 944 s2 springs in the rear as they are the same size diameter and factory 160lbs. I also have some 924s phone dials that when i drill the rear and w/ the adapters on the front-eventually 911 suspension up front- bolt right up 6" wheels.

this is what im planning on the car to look like eventually.

Never think for one second yours is "just" another progress thread. I think it is a lock that everybody's two favorite things about this place are: 1)instant access to an unbelievable amount of knowledge and experience 2) the chance to gain motivation and vicariously live through the projects of others by following their resto threads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Remember though, there is no such thing as too many pics, but you will get your balls busted if you don't post enough. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/monkeydance.gif)

Well said Chris. I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) progress pics and stories. Can't have enough pics.

Dan, if you need any help, I'm in the area and could donate the occasional Saturday afternoon here and there. What part of Cincy are you located? You hang with any of the VW guys?

FWIW, I also own a white '76 2.0 (rolller)....for now. May be going to new owner when the facilities become available. Then I'll start on my Blau '75 Ca roller.

I like the idea of welding up the cowl to fender seam, hey it's not like the fenders are 'bolt-on'. Looks good, and eliminates one of the many "rust traps" so common on these cars.

I'm all for customizing and modifying these cars to suit. The only version IMO that would be worth keeping absolutely "stock" is an original -6.

That being said, what's up with that yellow one...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif)


Aircooledboy is correct, PICS, PICS, and more PICS! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
